Congo’s national oil company Société Nationale des Pétroles du Congo (SNPC) announced that it is it is committed to contributing to the preservation of the environment, particularly through actions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. To that end, the company will plant trees on at least 40,000 hectares.
Planned over a period of 10 years, the Eco Zamba project aims to create a forestry and agroforestry plantation, a natural carbon sink, over 50,000 hectares in the Plateaux Batéké region. The action comes as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy included in its corporate strategy “Performance 2025 Program.”
To achieve this, this program plans, among other things, to define and implement a forestation project. By implementing this objective, the SNPC, as a civic society, provides a concrete response to the call for the establishment of a global decade of afforestation, launched during COP27 in Sharm-El Sheikh, in Egypt, by the President of the Republic, His Excellency Denis Sassou Nguesso.
This project will have significant positive impacts and will enable the implementation of regeneration of soils and forest ecosystems, the development of agricultural sectors and, ultimately, a new wood industry that will create jobs.
